Enthusiastically applauded. There are
number of valuable articles to be voted

OUR friend Mr. John f. Staub arriv.
ed in town on Thursday last, looking
for an Investment in the M. 81 2. Rail-
road. When we found him, he was as
mad as a March hare at Mr.. Rutledge.
He declared he had never been treated so
badly. He charged that his friend Rut
ledge had given him wrong information
by telling him that the sale would not
occur until o'clock, and when he
reached the Court house at that time,
he found the sale over. We advised him
that there were splendid opportunities
to purchase coal land ia the mountains
beyond Back Creek, and we have no
doubt, but that by this time he has pur-
chased book on geology and is now
down about the tertiary strata.

THE episode that Miss Dodd, OF Fal-
ling Waters, this county, had with the
tramp, and the illustration she furnish
ed of her marksm anship, bids fair to
rival the Barbara Friteche legend. 1.-THE
Baltimore american in earnest remarks
and thrilling sentiment, extrolled the
bravery and beauty of the heroine Of
Falling Waters, Washington county,
Nd. and the Philadelphia Press with
equal zest and pathos relates how Miss
Dodd, of Falling Waters, Pennsylvania,
frightened the tramp and would have
notched his ear with bullet but for her
laughter at seeing him run. Next.
